    They had Mugen Arthur on preorders well before the release.

    Aah - good point!! But will still keep an eye on HLJ anyway, on the off-chance they do get some of the Sea Beasts stuff in. Otherwise, i may be somewhat screwed getting a set or two.. :mad

    Same here. I got two sets of Arthur from them for the price of one set so me and a friend split the two sets between us and split the cost in half. But I wont be able to do that if I cant get it from Hlj.

    So I got my Mugen Pharaoh set and I love him, but the stickers are driving me crazy. I have them all applied, but many of the smaller ones or the ones that are applied along curved surfaces aren't sticking very well. What can I do to keep them on?

    Use a small and thin sharpish object like a key or the tip of a pen (not one still useable of course) and try to etch into them to make them stick better.

    Hm. I was hoping maybe there was something I can coat them with.

    I use a toothpick to lightly rub the sticker so it sticks. I also roll the tip to make the stickers adhere in small spaces.

    I did leave my stickers on Mugen Pharaoh until recently - used a small screwdriver to press the labels down. But have now painted my Pharaoh bits (which I still need to finish off - doh!)

    Guys the Mugen Pirates set is now available at hlj. The lack of pictures and shipping estimates make me wonder if they actually are available there though.

    I'm up for splitting a set with someone if they don't want the whole box. Shoot me a PM.

    I've seen Mugen Pirates on Yahoo! Japan, so I don't see why they wouldn't be available yet... Unless I'm missing the part that says it's a preorder.

    But they do have the weight... Which would lead me to believe it's just an error on someone's part.

    The set is now apparently listed as "Discontinued" on HLJ. Any idea why?

    Sold out, no plans of restocking.

    Which sucks because I missed it. :(

    That can't be right though. It only just came out, and they've had the Mugen Arthur sets for a long time now.

    They might have sold out of all the ones they had. And candy toys rarely get restocked. Well I got my order through so we'll see what happens next.

    It says low stock now.

    Unfortunately, they're now listed as "discontinued" again... This whole situation is getting more confusing thatn a David Fincher sub-plot!! I only hope Ryan comes through and gets me the sets I've ordered *crosses fingers*

    If its permanently out of stock you'll probably have 'future release' for a long while until they send you an email saying its discontinued. I never liked that system. Its so confusing.
